SHOULD
YOU
VOLUNTEER
?
Are you having a hard time finding a job? Do you need experience?
Try Volunteering. Even though you won’t be paid for volunteer work, it will help
to build your work history and gain a good reference, both of which will help you
when you are applying for paid positions.
There are many places to volunteer. It is important to select
the right one in order to make the most out of your experience. Consider
volunteering at a place that will offer you the skills or experience you lack.
